K-pop Lyrics

How does a bastard,
orphan son of a whore
And a Scotsman,
dropped in the middle of a forgotten
spot in the Caribbean
By providence,
impoverished, in squalor,
grow up to be a hero and a scholar?

The 10 dollar
Founding father without a father
Got a lot farther
by working a lot harder,
by being a lot smarter
By being a self-starter,
by 14 they placed him
in charge of a trading charter

And everyday while slaves
were being slaughtered
and carted away
Across the waves,
he struggled and kept his guard up
Inside he was longing
for something to be a part of
The brother was ready to beg,
steal, borrow or barter

Then a hurricane came,
and devastation reigned
Our man saw his future drip,
dripping down the drain
Put a pencil to his temple,
connected it to his brain
And he wrote his first refrain,
a testament to his pain

Well the word got around,
they said,
＂This kid is insane, man!＂
Took up a collection
just to send him to the mainland
＂Get your education,
don't forget from whence you came
And the world's gonna know your name.
What's your name man?＂

Alexander Hamilton
My name is Alexander Hamilton
And there's a million thing
I haven't done
But just you wait, just you wait

When he was 10, his father split,
full of it, debt ridden
2 years later,
see Alex and his mother bed-ridden
Half-dead,
sitting in their own sick,
the scent thick
And Alex got better
but his mother went quick

Moved in with a cousin,
the cousin committed suicide
Left him with nothing
but ruined pride,
something new inside
A voice saying,
＂Alex you gotta fend for yourself＂
He started retreating and reading
every treatise on the shelf

There woulda been nothing
left to do for someone less astute
He woulda been dead and destitute
without a cent of restutition
Started working, clerking for his
late mother's landlord
Trading sugar cane and
rum and all the things
he can't afford
Scanning for every book
he can get his hands on
Planning for the future,
see him now as he stands on
The bow of a ship
headed for a new land
In New York you can be a new man

(In New York you can be a new man)
Just you wait
(In New York you can be a new man)
Just you wait
(In New York you can be a new man)
(In New York, New York)
Just you wait!

Alexander Hamilton
(Alexander Hamilton),
we're waiting in the wings for you
(waiting in the wings for you)
You could never back down,
you never learned to take your time
Oh, Alexander Hamilton
(Alexander Hamilton),
when America sings for you

Will they know what you overcame?
Will they know you rewrote the game?
The world will never be same, oh
The ship is in the harbor now,
see if you can spot him
Another immigrant coming up
from the bottom
His enemies destroyed his rep,
America forgot him

We fought with him
Me? I died for him
Me? I trusted him
Me? I loved him
And me?
I'm the damn fool that shot him

There's a million thing I haven't done
But just you wait
What's your name man?
Alexander Hamilton!
